The potential due to an electrostatic charge distribution is $V(r) = \frac{q e^{-\alpha r}}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0} r}$,where $\alpha$ is positive. The net charge within a sphere centred at the origin and of radius $1/\alpha$ is

  • A
    $2q / e$
  • B
    $(1 - 1/e) q$
  • C
    $q/e$
  • D
    $(1 + 1/e) q$
